Summer Backyard Safety Guide

The moment your kids step outside for backyard fun, you need to take precautions. Ideally, it would be great if you can sit out there and watch them all the time. Obviously, if you have toddlers, then that is exactly what you’ll be doing. However, when the kids get a little bit older they can probably be left alone a bit longer. To make sure they are safe, you need to take precautions and get your backyard ready for summer fun. Here’s what you need to do:

Establish Pool Rules

A swimming pool in your backyard means your backyard is going to be very popular. Everyone needs to know the rules. There are actually the same rules you would have at the YMCA pool or any other public pool. That starts with no running around the pool. There shouldn’t be any diving. Perhaps you can remove the temptation by removing the diving board.

Your swimming pool should also be enclosed with a secure fence. This keeps the young ones out for sure but it can also prevent other animals from wandering in for a dip.

Inspect the Yard

You should always inspect your backyard before any play session commences. That inspection is also vital before you do any lawn mowing. There’s no telling what could be dropped in your yard from one day to the next. You might not be aware of where your kids are playing with their toys. Those could get caught in a lawnmower and cause a lot of trouble. It helps to keep your grass trimmed so that things don’t get lost in the lawn.

When mowing the lawn, don’t ever leave your mower running unattended. If you have a riding lawnmower, then the temptation is to give little kids a ride. This is probably a bad idea. It’s better to treat the lawnmower as a tool rather than a plaything.

Remove Old Playsets

Before the start of summer, you’ll also want to check out your children’s playsets. After being exposed to the elements for several seasons those playsets could become damaged and worn out. This holds true for a swing set, playhouse or trampoline. At the first sign of damage, you should consider replacing those playsets. This is a perfect job for Junk King Chicago. These junk removal experts have been taking away oversized and bulky items for over 10 years. Two-man Junk King crew assigned to your task will know exactly how to dismantle anything in your backyard and then safely loaded onto the back of the truck.

Six Things To Consider When Searching For A Roommate

In a city like Chicago, great apartments come at a price. Sometimes that can be a very high price. A practical way of living in a terrific neighborhood and in a gorgeous space is to have a roommate. You might already be living in a home or apartment with a spare room that could be attractive to someone. That roommate can help with the rent or mortgage. The goal is to find a roommate that is going to be compatible. Here are some of the things you should consider when searching for roommate:

How Will You Interact Together?

It is hard to know exactly how a roommate going to turn out until you start living with them but you should get a good sense during an interview. What are your expectations for the person you want to share your home with? Is this someone you won’t mind watching TV together? If so, then you need to find someone that shares your taste in programs. Will you feel comfortable sharing the kitchen with that person? In other words, a vegetarian and a meat eater right not make the best roommates.

Do You Share the Same Habits?

They say opposites attract. That might work in a relationship but for roommates it could spell trouble. You have every right to ask your potential roommate if they smoke, drink or use recreational drugs. The answer to those questions should line up with your own habits. Word of caution: someone who promises to smoke “just outside” is still going to bring a lot of that those fumes back into the apartment with them.

Are They Working?

The reason you are bringing in a roommate is to help with the bills. You don’t want to get in a situation where you’re chasing them down every month for the rent and cable money. A potential red flag might be a person who has had several jobs within the last year or two. You want to look for someone with stability and job security.

Are They Going To Be Loud?

At first, it might seem like fun to have a roommate who plays the guitar. But that can grow old very fast if they are constantly playing the guitar and only know a few songs. What happens when they invite their musician buddies over to jam? You don’t want to get into a situation where you have to restrict their playing. Just keep in mind that anyone who plays an instrument could be playing that instrument at all hours.

Once you pick the perfect roommate you want to get their room ready. This might mean clearing out some of your clutter and old furniture. One call to Junk King Chicago can make that happen. These are the junk removal experts who will dispatch a moving crew and huge truck to your home. It won’t matter to them how heavy something is or how many flights of stairs they need to climb. If you want something gone just show it to Junk King Chicago.

When looking for roommate, you don’t have to find a best friend (although that would be nice) but you just want to make sure you will get along.
